I think it comes down to the question that everyone working on tools has to answer: is the good that it can bring worth the potential for evil that it can also be used for? TOR says yes, and they develop it even though terrible people can use it to hide their tracks, because it also allows nice people to hide their tracks so terrible people can't see what they're doing. I do believe that free speech is so incredibly beneficial that it's always worth having, even if that means accepting cults, celebrities, politicians etc preying on the weak.
